Tiny N64 controller guaranteed to cause serious crampage
On the list of nerd pastimes, miniaturization ranks pretty high. So, we're not exactly surprised to see a tiny N64 controller, but we're kind of amazed that this rather extreme hack managed to avoid detection since January. The itty bitty controller isn't a mod, but an original construction built around a PIC microcontroller. You might notice that the yellow C buttons are absent, instead Kirren (the creator) went with a tiny four way switch, which you'll see above the blue and green A and B buttons. The design skips the L key, but you'll find R and Z on the rear face. For a short clip of it in action head on after the break and, if you want to build one yourself, hit up the source.

Verizon ICS update schedule leaks: Rezound, RAZR and Xoom being tested now
While there are already vague Android update plans for Verizon-connected Samsung devices, a leaked screen from somewhere within the Big Red bunker has offered up some more details. It looks like the Rezound, Droid RAZR and RAZR Maxx are closest to the upgrade finish-line with testing likely to finish by May 7th for the HTC model and May 17th for the Motorola duo. According to Droid Life, Verizon's Motorola Xoom (you know, the Android tablet) is getting its update direct from Google, but it hasn't been deigned worthy of a concrete release date. A handful of software updates are also pegged for the likes of the Bionic, Thunderbolt, Revolution, Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Xperia Play, but they look likely to be more incremental than outright OS upgrades. For those interested in some new firmware numbers, we've included those update details after the break.

One Direction's Harry Styles' Celebrity Crushes Reveal Taste For Older Women

One Direction's Harry Styles is opening up about the older ladies he's crushing on, and nowhere in there was Taylor Swift's name mentioned, despite rumors that something romantic might have been brewing.
According to the Sun out of the U.K., the floppy-haired boy bander is crushing on three ladies even older than 22-year-old Swift: The 18-year-old shared that, if given the chance, he would date Angelina Jolie (36), Kate Moss (38) or Kate Winslet (36). Any of those three wouldn't be his first older woman: He previously dated 32-year-old TV presenter Caroline Flack.
For any girl out there who is not one of those three superstars and is looking for a way to catch the singer's attention, Styles candidly revealed what he likes his ladies to wear. "I like my girlfriends to wear black lingerie ... definitely," he shared.
But, the romance talk didn't end there. He noted that if he sees a lady he thinks is pretty, well, he doesn't exactly have any smooth lines he likes to use on her. "I'm not really a pick-up-line guy. I don't know what I do," he confessed.
Harry has been linked to quite a few ladies since 1D dropped their debut album, Up All Night, last month — none of which have been Winslet, Jolie or Moss. However, his list of rumored ladies does include American singer Lily Halpern, New York-based photographer Sarah-Louise Colivet, Victoria's Secret model Emma Ostilly and former "Bachelorette" Jillian Harris.
With some time off before the guys kick off their U.S. tour next month, Styles is opening up about his favorite places and how he's looking forward to the downtime. "I'm so tired. It was pretty intense, but a lot of fun. I have six weeks to chill out now," he told BBC Radio 1. "My favorite places were New York and Sydney. I'd never been to Australia or New Zealand before, so that was sick."

Star Wars Arcade gets fan made mini-me, weeps tears of joy (video)
Arcade fan (and genius) Le Chuck got up one morning and thought "Why not build a perfect replica of Atari's Star Wars Arcade, at 1:6 scale?" The result is this amazing 12-inch cabinet with a fully working Atari-yoke, handmade from aluminum and a pair of potentiometers. Tucked inside the box is a modded Caanoo running MAME4all, which has been tweaked to boot straight into the game when activated. The whole project took him over 80 hours to put together, but we think it was time very well spent. If you want to see the thing in action (and sing along to the 8-bit version of the theme) then head on past the break.
